Substantial savings for business can be achieved through carrying out transactions electronically. However, this requires interoperable solutions, and, in the case of electronic invoicing, solutions that meet the needs of public authorities (regarding VAT, for example) across all European member states. With its approved deliverables, the open CEN Workshop ‘Electronic Invoices and Compliance’ represents a significant step in standardization regarding electronic invoicing in Europe.

The tool can be used by both supplier and customer throughout the entire product life cycle, including the early product development and pre-production phases, and the post-production aftermarket/service phases. MMOG/LE can be used by every partner in the supply chain for self-assessment, or can be used between business partners as an audit tool for supplier selection and evaluation. This guideline can be used internally as a continuous improvement tool, or externally as your customers require. This Excel file automatically calculates your Global MMOG/LE score and features a gap analysis tool.

A deep sharing of work and sophisticated delivery processes are in use. Therefore, a closer integration of all involved business partners is desirable for the benefit of the vehicle manufacturers, the suppliers and the logistics service providers. The implementation of this recommendation helps to provide increased control over the supply chain transport process, to have better and more reliable information for performance evaluation and to avoid disturbances in production caused by delayed transport of materials.

They are used to provide proof of identity of the partners, allow encryption/ decryption/integrity-check of files and ensure non-repudiation of the data exchange. However, the large number of Security Certificate providers has made it increasingly difficult to properly manage the exchange, validation and installation of these certificates. The SCX project team has analysed the business requirements and technical opportunities and developed a recommendation to establish trust between the business partners and enable the automated exchange and renewal of Security Certificates.
